I’m fascinated by the sky. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, I’m always looking up at the sun, the clouds, the stars, the lightning, everything… It just amazes me that each and every day, from moment to moment really, that things can just look so different.

He Gave Me Life {Faith}

He Keeps Me in Peace {Word Filled Wednesday}
